1974 and 1975 westy info thread FAQ

[Denzel1975]

Hi guys, I purchased a 1975 westy 5 years ago and been working on it slowly but surely. The colour is Yosemite Yellow, and I tought the paint was the original one, but I never saw another one with that white line... is it original or not ?

The filler neck to the tank, your fuel lines everywhere and the rubber connections between the vapor lines off the tank.

No the white was added.

Thanks notchboy. Is this video acurate to change the filler neck on a 1975 baywindow bus ?

Thats a start - but the part from the there to the tank is suspect as well. Finding all the leaks may require a pulling of the gas tank - which is hard to do with the motor in.

Denzel, suspect the vent lines behind the firewall that run horizontally across the top of the fuel tank. Filler neck is a possibility and would be more of a concern because it can/will leak more than anywhere else. Pop that round port off and have a good look with a buddy pouring a little fuel in.
Good luck dude.

White stripe looks like a mid-80's touch of flair. I mean I don't mind it, but not OG. Wax that Yosemite Yellow, and cruise with a smile.

Yes this floor plan was our only offer in the US. This first variation with the table under the window seems to be more common and for 74 primarily. The second picture of the orange one with side seat and swivel table seem to be more rare for 75.

Thanks of the information, the second picture of the orange one with side seat and swivel table was also sold in Italy ... version called Dusseldorf

Did the 75 westy ever come stock with fold out table and swivel table? I have the fold out table but the sink also has the holes for the swivel table brackets.
